Definitions
- the invention relates generally to a gasket for sealing a transport refrigeration unit located within a vehicle. More particularly, the invention relates to a gasket for sealing an opening in a vehicle that receives the transport refrigeration unit.
- Conventional transport refrigeration units provide cooling inside a vehicle compartment.
- the conventional transport refrigeration units are typically located on a vehicle roof within a refrigeration unit housing.
- the transport refrigeration unit cools air that is pumped into the vehicle compartment to provide cooling.
- the components produce heat and vent within the refrigeration unit housing.
- the vehicle roof acts as an insulator to protect the vehicle interior from the heat produced by the refrigeration unit. Locating the refrigeration unit housing on the vehicle roof is unsightly.
- a vehicle roof supports a refrigeration unit.
- the refrigeration unit includes an external housing located primarily outside of a vehicle compartment and an internal housing located primarily inside of the vehicle compartment.
- the internal housing is located within an opening in the vehicle roof.
- the vehicle roof has an external layer and an internal layer spaced apart from the external layer. Insulation is placed between the external layer and the internal layer to insulate the vehicle compartment from external air.
- a gasket is located between the refrigeration unit and the vehicle roof to seal the opening.
- the gasket extends from a top side of the vehicle roof to the bottom side of the vehicle roof to cover the exterior layer and the interior layer.
- the gasket is formed of multiple layers of material with are secured to one another.
- An aluminum layer is secured to the butyl layer, and a butyl layer is located adjacent to the vehicle roof.
- the butyl layer acts as an adhesive to attach the aluminum to the vehicle roof.
- the aluminum layer is adjacent to the internal housing when the refrigeration unit is assembled into the opening. The aluminum layer prevents ingress of water, air, and other contaminants into the vehicle roof through the opening.
- Figure 1 is a schematic view of a vapor compression system of the present invention
- Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a refrigeration unit of the present invention
- Figure 3 is a perspective view of an opening in a vehicle compartment for receiving the refrigeration unit
- Figure 4 is a perspective view of the opening in a vehicle compartment sealed by a gasket of the present invention.
- Figure 5 shows a cross-section of a vehicle roof, the gasket and an internal housing.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a vapor compression system 10, such as a refrigeration system, including a compressor 12 that compresses a fluid, such as refrigerant.
- a compressor 12 that compresses a fluid, such as refrigerant.
- the refrigerant is delivered downstream to a heat exchanger, such as a condenser 14.
- the condenser 14 the refrigerant rejects heat to an external fluid medium.
- the external fluid medium is air.
- the refrigerant travels to an expansion device 16 and is expanded to a low pressure.
- the refrigerant accepts heat from another fluid medium, such as air, in an evaporator 18 and then flows to the compressor 12, completing the cycle.
- FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of a refrigeration unit 20 of the present invention including the vapor compression system 10.
- a vehicle roof 22 supports the refrigeration unit 20.
- the refrigeration unit 20 includes an external housing 24 and an internal housing 26.
- the external housing 24 is located primarily outside a vehicle compartment 21 and above the vehicle roof 22.
- the internal housing 26 is located primarily inside of the vehicle compartment 21 and under the vehicle roof 22, as shown.
- External air enters the external housing 24 through a first opening 28 located between the vehicle roof 22 and the external housing 24.
- the refrigeration unit 20 can include multiple first openings 28 to increase the airflow into the refrigeration unit 20.
- the air passes over the components of the refrigeration unit 20, such as the condenser 14 and the compressor 12, and is heated.
- the now heated air exits through a second opening 30 in the external housing 24.
- a cover 32 may be located at the second opening 30 to reduce the amount of water and other external contaminants that may enter the refrigeration unit 20 through the second opening 30.
- the external housing 24 also assists in preventing water and other external
- the refrigeration unit 20 can be located within the vehicle compartment 21 and under the vehicle roof 22 without heating the vehicle compartment 21, and is therefore less unsightly.
- the refrigeration unit 20 is hidden from external view, any heat generated by the components is removed through the second opening 30 without affecting the temperature of the air in the vehicle compartment 21.
- FIG. 3 shows the vehicle roof 22 including an opening 34 for receiving the internal housing 26 of the refrigeration unit 20.
- the vehicle roof 22 includes an external layer 36 and an internal layer 38.
- the internal layer 38 is spaced apart from the external layer 36.
- Insulation 40 is located between the external layer 36 and the internal layer 38.
- the external layer 36, the internal layer 38 and the insulation 40 insulate the vehicle compartment 21 from the external air and the outside air.
- the opening 34 in the vehicle roof 22 can allow air, water and other external contaminants to reach the insulation 40, the interior layer 38 and the vehicle compartment 21.
- the air, the water and other contaminants can cause leakage or rusting.
- the opening 34 must be sealed.
- Figure 4 shows the opening 34 in the vehicle roof 22 sealed by a vehicle gasket 42.
- the gasket 42 extends from a top edge 23 of the vehicle roof 22 to the bottom edge 25 of the interior layer 38 of the vehicle roof 22 covering and sealing both the exterior layer 36 and the interior layer 38.
- the width of the gasket 42 can be modified for each vehicle as the space between the exterior layer 36 and the interior layer 38 varies, changing the overall distance from the top edge of the vehicle roof 22 to the bottom edge of the vehicle roof 22.
- Figure 5 shows a cross-section of the vehicle roof 21, the gasket 42 and the internal housing 26.
- the aluminum layer 46 is formed of multiple layers of material with are secured to one another.
- the aluminum layer 46 is secured to the butyl layer 44 and the butyl layer 44 is located adjacent to the vehicle roof 22.
- the butyl layer 44 acts as an adhesive to attach the gasket 42 to the vehicle roof 22 and to assist in sealing against water and air ingress.
- the aluminum layer 46 is adjacent to the internal housing 26 when the refrigeration unit 20 is assembled into the opening 34.
- the aluminum layer 46 prevents ingress of water, air, and other contaminants into the vehicle roof 22 through the opening 34 to prevent corrosion of the vehicle roof 22.
- the aluminum layer 46 is preferably thin enough to allow for some deformation and shaping of the gasket 42.
- the aluminum layer 46 and the internal housing 26 have an interference fit to aid in sealing the vehicle roof 22 and the vehicle compartment 21.
- the butyl layer 44 acts as an elastomeric and a gasket to assist in sealing the opening 34.
